Top Four PGs

  1. Kyle Lowry (Raptors) – $8,400 @ Bulls (16th)
  2. John Wall (Wizards) – $9,600 vs. Pistons (7th)
  3. Jrue Holiday (Pelicans) – $6,900 vs. 76ers (15th)
  4. Emmanuel Mudiay (Nuggets) – $5,800 @ Kings (29th)

Rationale:

  • Lowry is scoring 51.9 FPPG in two meetings with the Bulls this season. A slight increase in assists in the season series has attributed to his success over his season average. He’s projected to score 40.8 fantasy points.
  • Wall only had 24 fantasy points against the Pistons in their first meeting. In that contest he shot 36.4 percent in that game, but should play better with a faster pace. He’s projected to score 47.4 fantasy points.
  • Holiday hasn’t played against the 76ers yet this season. Philly is 23rd in opponent shooting percentage this season and 15th in opponent three-point shooting percentage. He has high upside and is projected to score 41.3 fantasy points.
  • Mudiay hasn’t played the Kings this season, who are last in points allowed per game. The Kings are 25th in opponent three-point percentage and 21st in opponent field goal percentage. He is projected to score 29.6 fantasy points.
